Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Waisai vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
